Dear governor, with due respect, ur defense is simply annoying and makes no sense. This horrible statements which ur publicist was not ashamed to publish is an insult to us, and attempts to imply that the public is stupid and thus can be fed anything. There is no justification for the use of public funds for these kind of benevolence. YOU DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT. The blessings of our land belong to all of us and there are sons of akwa ibom alive today who cannot afford 3 square meals, a decent living space or even basic education for their children. You are very much aware of this. U know u have poor sons of the land, rightful owners of thiese blessings, who continue to suffer inadequate social amenities, underdevelopment and neglect, yet u thout it was smart to reward a faithful wife of and artiste with millions that could make a difference for many poor families? 2face is an international figure and is wealthy enough to reject ur offer, yet there are millions of others who are unknown in their local government who go hungry for days. Have u no fear of God?

Your hopeless explanations is devoid of common sense and can be likened to a thief who after been accused of stealing N29 in the town square, gave up himself just so he could tell the village he stole N20 only.

Akwa ibom is strong enough to not only set a standard of living for all other states to follow but also create wealth by exporting needed solutions to other stars. Akwa ibom can be a shinning jewel in Nigeria and a reference for cities of the world. This is what we hope for and not all these petty senseles expenditure passed off as strategies for publicity. I can't tell u how angry I am.

Pls recover those gifts and recall ur approval for the planned wedding appearance and attend to the overbearing needs of the state. I will personally investigate whether I have the capacity and the ground to sue you.

Whats the big difference or what does it matter if its 29 guest or 20guest?? One prado or two?? A prado will still cost over a million..so wtf?!
This is just a case of misplaced priority and st.u.pidity.
Not that i'm against his giving them gift..but why to so much extent if there isn't more to the story?? Three million coulda changed the lives of some homeless kids..i'm certain.

My own be say, where the money for the gifts come from?

We all know its from states fund cos these people handle the state's fund like its their personal property, so what are talking about? Abegi.

Its really pathetic, a country where only the rich keeps getting richer.

Somewhere in Akwa-ibom lies a family with little children who have nothing to eat and millions of naira was given to someone who didn't need it.

Smh, only in naija.sad

[b]Like some have said,, if the money came from his pocket, then I see no reason for all these talk..


However, it seems the money came from his states account because it required 'APPROVAL', and that on itself makes all this explanation rubbish. State funds should not be wasted like that. But then again, Cross Rivers wastes millions of states money to fund 4 weeks of unwanton debauchery every Christmas. The Nigerian Police that is highly under equipped and under trained with decapitating facilities spent 2 Billion on 1 week of Police Games. Northern Governors spend millions on State weddings for divorcees every year. Southern Governors spend billions to ferry people to Jerusalem for pilgrimage yearly. Northern Governors spend billions to send people to Mecca yearly. Nigeria spent billions to host African First ladies in Nigeria. Rochas okorocha spent over 150 million Naira to send 60 Imo State students to America for exchange program. Rochas spent Millions to braodcast his daughters wedding live on T.V to the whole Nation. APC gave 500 million Naira to Boko victims in Borno and nobody asked where the money came from, yet they set the military on students of their state who protested the non availability of water in their hostels. So in a way, giving Tuface a lousy 6.5 million Naira vehicle and spend another 20 million to send some Akwa Ibomites to Dubai isn't really over the Top.

Fortunately, I have been to Uyo and can testify that the Governor has really put in work. If anything, he has moved that state at least 10 years forward from where they used to be. If giving Tuface a car gift is his worst offence, I will pardon him.

I don't support unwanton wastage of Public funds, but if we must condemn, let's bring in all the wastage we see around us as well into focus.

On the flip side, he spent it on a citizen of his state. I would rather have 20 Akwa Ibomites travel to Dubai on states funds than have it end up in one mans pocket.[/b]

Hope that Akpabio is not panshing Annie ohh!!cause me I don't understand this "kind gesture" ahn ahn is she the only Akwa Ibom woman.. That man is a he-goat and I don't think I trust him.. To even make matters worse, he came out to defend himself and ended up making a fool of himself!! Is Annie the only Akwa Ibom woman that has gotten married? Please, what is not right is not right.. If Annie is is ex gf, he should come out and say, we'll understnd he's paying her off but not with state funds because I know for him to come out and defend himself with out stating where allav that cash is coming from, its deff state stolen cash that he's spending.. Buying a car for someone on his/her wedding day is a common thing here but sending 20 or 29 of her fam memebers on an all paid trip abroad? C'mon we aint kids + if tuface really wants his inlaws to be at his wedding, he would provide for them.. Don't even know why that one carried his wedding to Dubai.. Mtttcchhheewww!!! Mumu show off!!

For all those that are saying it's OK as long as it's his personal money and not State founds,my question to you is this. How much does he make a year

in salaries that he can afford to buy a bullet proof van for himself, give a Toyota SUV for a wedding gift and sponsor 20 people to Dubai.

Okija chairman,I have always looked at ur comments always from the negative perspective,maybe we'll talk about that later,but I most confess that this one is excellently written.they are not criticising fashola who spent almost all d states resources on tinubu and can.d don't criticise obi for using state funds for apga progress,all d see is akpabio's reckless spending.nobody is happy when state funds are diverted for issues uncalled for,but as u said,if we must talk about it,we must bring all others to the fore for discussion.

I don't know why the governor should bother with sponsoring the bride's relative abroad for the wedding.
Shouldn't he have encouraged or hinted about patronizing obudu cattle ranch, tinanpa or other tourist destination in nigeria instead of endorsing and sponsoring trips for wedding in dubai.
